Well I have been engrossed in "Discovery Channel" of late. In fact to be truthful a dose of about 13 hours of Wild Discovery In the last three days. I also saw a movie "Apocalypto" Star Movies after the 9 pm movie, if you might have guessed it.
Now what i saw common in both the modes of entertainment would be Parentage. Yes Motherhood is something that I have set out to write on today. A topic in which I am least versed with. Now let us get straight at the topic.
"Mother", "Ma" , "Mummy", "Mom" or even "Mambu" as one of my friends calls , is perhaps the commonest word in the Universe. The first word that escapes as a mumble hum from the toddler. So the fact that comes in is what makes the common special.
The fact that I witnessed long enough , but it has always fleeted my notice is that Mothers, be it an alligator mum , or full grown Tigress, when comes to handling babies surely follow the "Handle With Care" rules. So is it the wilderness that I am gonna focus well no, surely not.
Motherhood is perhaps something that is special to every girl. The magnitude of the emotion is unexplainable on the context of me being just an eighteen year old person , too immature to deal with the intricacies so deep.
The point we never realize the specialty is because we are used to it. Just like the fact that your dad might be the President of United States might overwhelm you, but Sasha and Malia will surely take it as stride in their paths. So the fact that there is someone who is perhaps the most special person in our lives goes unnoticed with each passing hour.
Now to venture further in....
I might not be sounding convincing at all, but now let me disclose the reason which actually inspired me to write this....
A pregnant tribal woman with her five year old, surviving in a crevice awaiting her captured husband's return might just seem cliche in a movie, but that's where Mel Gibson's brilliance steps in. The survival instinct of a woman is special in the way that its triggered by the danger of her off springs rather herself. The eyes showed the intensity , the animal instincts of survival , of protection , of care and tender love when dealing with her kids. May be its the hardship of labor that makes them so special, so unique , that it makes moms take the highest rung in the food chain.
"Survival of the Fittest", a radical theory proposed by Darwin ,which has always been unchallenged in the animal society.But the secret behind it's success again are mothers ,who make it possible, at least in most of the cases.
Well if someone asks the few things which are indispensable , "Mum's" would surely top the list.
Now it's not something that I am telling which I really felt so deeply. May be I will still not listen to my mom on the dining table. Still irritate her about the food, about my clothes. Still not talk to her about my exams, or even ignore her if she asks me clean my room. But the fact remains, that this post is because of the fact that of late I was inspired. Inspired by the fact that a relation can be so special, a bonding so deep , so great and so pure....
This post is surely not up to my personal standards. Yet I wont scrap it. May be I ventured too far. It's beyond me. Perhaps too difficult for me express myself. So my humble apologies!!!!
